This art captures one of the best motorcycle racers of all time, Valentino Rossi, looking back at the competition after a race. Each brush-stroke in this art is a tribute to the years of entertainment he has given us, observing his great talent and vibrant personality.
Over the years we've watched the Italian phenomenon dominate the ranks of the 125, 250 and 500cc classes of world competition. With the new millennium and the change to the big 990cc 4-stroke machines, he again dominated the class in 2002 riding Honda's unique 5-cylinder RC211V. After 5 World Championships – three back-to-back with Honda – the ultimate sportsman decided to quit Honda and ride a slower bike – just to spice things up. His first year on the Yamaha YZR-M1 brought another World Championship in 2004 – proving that he really was "that good." A repeat performance with the Yamaha in 2005 resulted in his 7th World Championship. In 2006 during his first "off year" he narrowly lost the Championship to former Honda teammate, American, Nicky Hayden.
Only 500 prints of this work of art were produced for worldwide sale. They are on heavy-weight paper, and are easy-to-frame yourself – no mat is needed and each fits into a standard ready-made frame.
